Merson backs Liverpool, Man Utd stars to start for England in World Cup opener – Maguire omittedPaul Merson has named his preferred starting XI for England’s World Cup opener against Iran, which includes Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marcus Rashford.
The pundit has also left out Harry Maguire as he believes Kyle Walker needs to partner John Stones at centre-back:“It’s a nightmare start against a team that is used to being in hot weather. It’s their first game and they’re going to run around – it’s not like the third game of the group and they’re out. How many shocks do we normally see in the first round of games? You see loads.
“But if you’re talking about a team like Iran who are going to put 10 behind the ball and you need to break them down, Trent has to be in the team for that game. He’s the best passer of the ball in the country, in my opinion. Merson went onto suggest that Rashford should start against Iran alongside Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling:
